The attached patch should fix your problem. Please try it out. The patch does indeed make PyGreSQL build (and function) successfully, thanks! Whether the permanent solution is indeed to include these #DEFINEs directly into the PyGreSQL source as your patch does, or include a wider set of headers with the client-only build of PostgreSQL, is something I assume you guys will be able to get worked out. :) Regards, Lars Erik Gullerud
